            @Yummy: The way a British band spells their name does not mean that it's generally acceptable to spell the word that way in Great Britain.

            As another example, "Korn" is not acceptable spelling for the word "corn" in America.

            Obviously if computer was spelt with a 'c' in Indonesia it would be pronounced "chomputer".

            Mmmm… chomputer.

    Bought this VPN last year. Its slowed right down since, lucky to get 20mbps on Sydney server and overseas are often woefully slow, not much good for streaming. But i suppose as a freebie may be ok for some.

    • CyberMurning on 12/05/2019 - 23:11

    • adr8 on 12/05/2019 - 23:25

      I also noticed the slower speeds over the past several months.

    • Mibo on 13/05/2019 - 01:03

      I haven't had any slowdowns with the Sydney servers, 90 something mbps no problem. Are you using the IKEv2 protocol?

      • Xizor on 13/05/2019 - 06:31

        Ill have to double check but i think just the default settings on the android tv app..

        • Mibo on 13/05/2019 - 09:31

          If you're using the Windscribe android app you'll only be using openvpn and not IKEv2. To use IKEv2 you'll need to manually setup strongswan.

          • Xizor on 13/05/2019 - 09:44

            @Mibo: Odd. My other VPN provider which also uses openvpn gets 80+mbps on the same android tv boxes. Its only windscribe on them thats poor. Maybe windscribe are intentionally slowing via openvpn/androidtv.

              @Xizor: I don't have an android tv so I wouldn't know, but Windflix servers are slower than normal servers. The Sydney Koala server is fine on the desktop, https://www.speedtest.net/result/8253437542

              Edit: There's a new android tv app, maybe try that. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windscribe/comments/bmnml3/wanna_tr…

                @Mibo: Thanks for the beta link. My tests were on nvidia shield and vodatv android tv boxes. And sorry was a typo when stated windflix only meant normal windscribe servers. Ill try again tonight.

              • Xizor on 13/05/2019 - 20:06

                @Mibo: Tried tonight and got between 35-55mbps so better than last time im tried. Still i flick over to my primary VPN and got 80-110mbps. So Windscribe via android tv app at best i'd say is hit n miss, does not seem like there is service quality parity to desktop.

                • Mibo on 13/05/2019 - 21:08

                  @Xizor: What's your primary VPN?
                  Also, how are you getting 110mbps? Do you have a business NBN plan?

        Yes, but you’re obviously limited to 50GB. Speeds may be a little slower, but different people report different things so it may depend on your location and the location of the server you connect to.

          Okay… First I'll access the secret military spy satelite that is in geosynchronous orbit over the midwest. Then I'll ID the limo by the vanity plate "MR. BIGGG" and get his approximate position. Then I'll reposition the transmission dish on the remote truck to 17.32 degrees east, hit WESTAR-4 over the Atlantic, bounce the signal down into the Azores, up to COMSAT-6, beam it back to SATCOM-3 transponder number 137 and down on the dish on the back of Mr. Big's limo. It's almost too easy.

              @serpserpserp: Prime Video region is linked to your amazon account region, not your location/country ip address like Netflix, via most access methods i believe. However if i recall correctly some have reported they can use certain VPN's on a PC desktop browser (only, APP or mobile wont work). YMMV.

      It does work with Netflix US and Canada. Download the app and select either one. They are WS app profiles are titled ‘windflix US and CA’. Little sluggish but gets the job done. Plus, going from memory if you setup VPN from their website guides you can basically access anything… but haven’t done this in a while so may have changed.

    • The Aeon on 13/05/2019 - 06:42

      Torrenting - most torrent sites are blocked in Australia. Can sign up for free stuff multiple times if all they use is an IP tracker etc. Netflix and other streaming from other countries. Can watch videos blocked in australia - which is some YouTube videos. Useful for the dark web. Good if you like just the general privacy of a VPN. I could go on but you get the idea. If you've never needed one for any of the above then it's probably not beneficial to you.
